Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Re: Little Firefox Icon

Does the favicon only appear on firefox broswers? Because I'm seeing it right now with IE.

No, it should appear with any browser that supports favicons.

Does anyone have that URL to that place on TWC's website where you could find the 2003-2005 TWC openers? I know Billy posted it, but I think we lost that thread.

Here they are: http://xoap.weather.com/web/aboutus/programs/video/

So is Thunder the only one who likes it? Or dislikes it? Or anything?

I just picked up my cell phone and noticed that I got a text message. No one ever text messages me, so I was wondering what it was or who it was from. It turned out to be spam. How did these get my number?



Sorry about the blurry picture; it's hard to take pictures of my phone's screen.

I went to the Pennsylvania DMV today to take the knowledge test, and passed. I now have my learner's permit, and can take the road test and get my junior license as early as July if I practice enough before then.

Congrats, Mike.

Okay guys thanks.

And how far is it to drive from Atlantic City to Lancaster? (No, i'm not visiting Billy's house )

Actually I don't live in Lancaster. That's just where I go to school.

141 miles/2hrs 37min:

LOL, Gary.

How far is the driving distance from San Francisco to San Jose?

And how long is it?

I think it's a little more than an hour drive. I'm sure billy will correct me if I'm wrong.

You're pretty close. Google Maps
says it's 50 miles/57 minutes.

Yeah, it carried US Route 9 across the harbor and runs parallel to the Parkway. I saw pictures here and the bridge looks like it's in pretty bad shape.

That link doesn't work. Looks like you didn't copy the link, as the link directs to "http://here"

Whoops. The link should be http://www.gribblenation.net/njpics/beesleys/
